Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds expects the Longhorns to play former in-state rival Texas A&M again someday, but it will be when Texas decides it wants to play the Aggies.

Texas A&M left the Big 12 behind to join the SEC, where the Aggies took the conference by storm last season. They gave eventual national champion Alabama its only loss and redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel won the Heisman Trophy.

“I think we’ll play sometime,” Dodds told The Daily Texan. “I don’t know when it will happen or how it will happen, but I’m sure it will happen.”

The two teams have played 118 times—Texas beat A&M, 27-25, on a final-play field goal in 2011.

“They left,” Dodds told The Daily Texan. “They're the ones that decided not to play us. We get to decide when we play again. I think that's fair. If you did a survey of our fans about playing A&M, they don't want to. It's overwhelming. I know. I hear it. Our fans are important to us. I think there's got to be a period where things get different. I think there's too many hard feelings.”
